As we mark the twentieth year of World Vision’s presence and contribution to the well-being of children in Niger, it is also a year in which we would like to highlight the many achievements we have chalked in different sectors of our interventions as stated in our National Strategy. It is a pleasure for me to highlight a few of our achievements this year, and invite you to celebrate with us. During 2015, the number of children enrolled in our sponsorship programs has increased from 44 568 to 47 619 in the following regions; Maradi, Zinder, Tahoua, Tillabery and Niamey. These children are sponsored by voluntary donors from Canada, the United States of America, Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. We are deeply grateful to them, because they allow us to realise the dream, of improving the well-being of the children. In the Food Security and Resilience sector, World Vision enabled farmers to adapt, an agriculture not dependent on weather conditions, by working closely with partners, local authorities to provide various forms of assistance to small famers including; the acquisition of rain and vegetables improved seeds, capacity building of more than 2 000 farmers on Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), extension of drip systems, the introduction of new farming methods that increase productivity, etc. All this to make communities more resilient to shocks. In health, the diagnosis and treatment of cases of malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia has increased to two more districts, in addition to the two covered in the previous year. More than 205 000 single cases of these diseases in children at age 2-59 months were treated by more than one thousand trained and equipped community health volunteers. In partnership with the World Food Programme, World Vision supported more than 37 000 children suffering from global acute malnutrition through therapeutic feeding centres in our areas of intervention. 03 Message from the National Director (cont.) Message from the National Director (cont.) In the Water, Sanitation & Hygiene programme, we have made remarkable progress with the start of activities in several villages in the Dosso region and the achievement of 182 boreholes fitted with hand pumps, thus enabling World Vision to achieve a thousandth boreholes drilled on Niger soil . Our programs have enabled many young girls to be saved from early marriage, thousands of women have become more independent through credit from the saving groups, hundreds of teachers have increased their teaching skills, thousands of boys and girls have benefited from quality education, hundreds of religious actors have been equipped with better knowledge of their roles in community development. Another remarkable achievement is the Diffa emergency response project execution. Despite a difficult economic context, World Vision was able to assist internally displaced people and refugees in the region of Diffa, by providing water, hygiene and sanitation services, distributing non-food items and drugs to the local health centres. World Vision’s interventions in the areas of humanitarian assistance and in community development, are targeted to improve the quality of life of children, families and communities. The results contained in this report cannot reflect the entire contribution of World Vision this year. But, they express the hope that '' our vision for every child, life in all its fullness '' becomes a reality. I want to, on behalf of children, their families and the entire World Vision Niger team, express my profound gratitude to sponsors and donors for their generosity, the Government of Niger for their support and the financial partners for their trust. Thanks for your help! Albert Kodio, Directeur National 04 World Vision Niger World Vision Niger The first intervention of World Vision in Niger dates back to 1973 following the drought that Sahel countries including Niger experienced. However, this intervention was only occasional. However, In 1994 World Vision settled in Niger with the aim to implement long-term community projects focusing on health, education and child protection, while meeting emergency food needs as well. Today World Vision Niger intervenes in seven out of the eight regions in the country, Niamey, Dosso, Maradi, Tahoua, Tillaberi, Zinder and Diffa. By the end of 2015, World Vision Niger had 291 permanent staff, including 75 women. World Vision uses the approach of Area Development Program (ADP) for the implementation of its funded projects. The ADP model focuses on vulnerable communities by targeting zones for maximum impact. World Vision Niger has 21 ADPs located in rural and urban areas. In addition, two major Grant projects are being implemented by World Vision Niger; a USAID-funded resilience project in the Maradi region called '' Livelihoods, Agriculture and Health Interventions in Action '' (LAHIA) and another funded by WHO on community based health management in the Dosso region called '' Niger Integrated Child Health '' (NICe RaCe). World Vision Niger's programs are funded through child sponsorship which represents 43% of our budget and by grants from various governments and multilateral structures including the World Food Programme, WHO, FAO, Hilton foundation and other partners which represents 57% 05 Some highlights of the fiscal year 2015 Some highlights of the fiscal year 2015 October The Ministry of Public Health validated the guiding documents for an integrated management of malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia at the 2014 community level November End of the dichotomy East - West Operating model.

  • Eric Keller Homeschool Gladbrook, IA Niger, Malnutrition the Impact Of
    Eric Keller Homeschool Gladbrook, IA Niger, Malnutrition The Impact of Malnutrition Due To Food Insecurity; Proposed Solutions For People Of Niger Introduction Despite many of the 21st century's innovations and advancements in agriculture and medical technology, food insecurity remains a global problem faced in particular by developing countries (Agriculture Goods, 2018). In fact, statistics show that globally "34 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition and die from hunger-related causes" (Action Against Hunger, 2018). Sadly, this means that malnutrition alone accounts for "over half of children’s deaths annually with other leading causes of death listed as various diseases and infections" (Neumann, Gewa, & Bwibo, 2018). Malnutrition is typically caused by several underlying factor such as poverty, lack of access to food, food insecurity, disease, conflicts, climate change, and lack of safe drinking water (Causes of Malnutrition, 2018). It is the intent of this paper to discuss malnutrition caused by food insecurity, PEM (Protein Energy Malnutrition), and propose solutions that may alleviate this problem. Country of Interest: Niger A main requirement for a stable country is food security. There is a need for food all across the world, and there is a need for people to come together and help fight hunger. Food insecurity throughout the global community is a problem and one country in particular, Niger, (located in Western Africa) caught the researcher's attention as one in six children in Niger will not live to see their fifth birthday due to the high rates of malnutrition and disease (Niger, 2018). The population of Niger in 2005 was 9.2 million compared to 16.6 million in 2018.

Our major concern here is with geography as it relates to tourism professionals. An attempt has been to provide all the essential features of the geography of Nigeria that you may need in your profession. We have touched on the concept of geography, only peripherally in this book. In the unit on Biodiversity: Landscape, Environment and Ecology, we have discussed, besides the geographical features of Nigeria, the variety of its flora and fauna wealth along with the environmental concerns. The unit on Seasonality and Destinations defines the concept of seasonality. It describes mainly the relationship between the destinations and their seasonality from the point of view of tourism.
